Kia America earned three honors in the 2022 Newsweek Autos Awards, recognizing the 2022 Carnival as the Best Minivan, 2022 K5 as the Best Family Car and the 2022 Sportage as one of five vehicles selected as an Editor’s Pick, based on features, specifications, and driving impressions.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recognized eight Kia vehicles – tied for second most in the industry – on its 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) and TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) awards lists. The Kia Telluride, Sorento, Seltos, Carnival built after March 2021 (with specific headlights), Sportage, and Soul (with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights) all received TSP awards. The Kia K5 and Stinger sedans qualified as TSP+ winners.

As one Kia’s longest-running nameplates, the Sportage is unchanged for 2022 but maintains its cutting-edge design, capability and convenience. New this year, the LX Value Edition Package adds 18-in. dark gray wheel, Smart key with push button start and heated front seats. The Nightfall Edition also replaces the S trim as a standalone package, and the panoramic sunroof is now standard on the EX trim. The EX Tech Package and SX Turbo are equipped with new complimentary map updates including new points of interest and ADAS features support.
